Friend should have told me her toilet seat was broken?

[AnimalLover24]

A bit of an unusual one - I visited my friends house yesterday for a coffee and a catch up which we arranged a week or so ago. After an half an hour or so I said I would pop to use the loo and she casually told me ‘oh - the toilet seat broke the other day so there isn’t one on there’.

As a slightly larger lady, ‘hovering’ as she suggested isn’t exactly straight forward.

Do you think she should have told me about this ahead of time?

So plonk on the rim. It's not rocket science.

Non event I say that as a solid size 18 sit on the bowl or hover.

Weird

So sit on the porcelain!!! You won't die.....it'll just be a bit chilly!

Dropping two sizes is great. Keep going! You’re doing amazingly well. Maybe incorporate some strength stuff as well using light weights.

Are you just super duper posh OP?

Oh my god. Please can someone provide me with a link to this? It’s just what I need today!! 😆

Click and collect from B&Q?

😆😆😆

I would have found it off putting and a bit grim to have to sit on the bowl (I don’t do hovering) and would have appreciated a heads up too. I find it very hard to believe that all these Cool Girls wouldn’t have been even mildly annoyed or grossed out 🙄

My mum would have been she was OCD. Even at home she would cover the toilet seat with tissue. We are all disgusting and she could have caught something from us if she sat on it.

Lots of places around the world barely have basin loos, let alone seats. You need to get out more 😂

It might have been deleted because the OP found the responses difficult to digest 🤣💩

I've tried searching for it, but can't find it. I'd love to relive it though if anyone has the link.

I thought from the title you had sat on the seat and ended up on the floor in which case YWNBU however perching your arse in the bowl in no big deal if you really need a wee.

What a bum note

Are people truly this precious? People used to shit in a hole in the floor and bury it but god forbid your arse touches a toilet.

Even if they’re disabled what difference does sitting on a seat or sitting on the actual bowl make?

I think it might be this one.

But the hosts bum would be on the toilet seat also so what’s the difference between sitting on a seat or the bowl?

🙄

196th post nails it.

Unless I was financially on the bones of my arse, I'd immediately replace a broken toilet seat. Especially If I knew I was having visitors.
But she obviously hasn't prioritised this particular task. Which is also fair enough.

It reminds me of that episode of Peep Show where Hans smashed down the bathroom door so Mark has to have explosive diarrhea on the bog in front of his boss and several people tripping on mushrooms!

So think yourself lucky. It could've been worse!

A size 16 isn't so big that you shouldn't be able to hover/sit on a rim for 30 seconds, I'm assuming to pee. If it was for a poo, then how could you 'make arrangements' to go beforehand - I'm assuming most people wouldn't poo in a friends house unless they absolutely have to, but you're talking as if you could have planned ahead so not like you have IBS or something.

It would have been incredibly weird for her to have messaged
'Hey, do you want to come over for a cuppa on Fri to catch up? By the way my toilet seat is broken so pee beforehand because you're a larger lady so I assume you can't "hover." ' I can't imagine your reaction to that would have been positive!

Yes! Who on earth doesn't go before they go out? They must have bladders of iron.
